[Cu-wireless] need a public-relations fact sheet

[Stephane Alnet]

Dave,

Agree. We should not forget the goal of the project is also to empower people (sorry 
I couldn't find a better word) with the use of the radio "stuff", and explaining things 
also matches the educational purpose of the project. The better we explain what we 
are doing and show that we are able to support it with technical information (when 
was the last time you discussed antenna design with your PCS salesperson?), the 
easier it'll be to get people onboard.

"The limit is 5 milliwatts of microwave radiation per square centimeter at 
approximately 2 inches from the oven surface.  This is far below the
level known to harm people."

"The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed 
in the head of a user of a wireless handset. The FCC limit for public exposure from 
cellular telephones is an SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg)."

Any expert to give comparison values to the above ones? :)
